    As in which games do you always go back to when your tired of playing new titles or just fed up of other games.

    For me it's always Crusader Kings 2. It's hard to get tired of this game because its a game you could play through 100 times and no playthrough will be the same.

    Football Manager is another though not as much for me anymore as i haven't enjoyed the newer iterations as much as i did with previous ones.

    As for multiplayer games it's usually Battlefield or Team Fortress. I think Team Fortress especially is always good for a laugh and never gets too boring.

    Football manager and fifa every year. Fifa is just handy to pickup for a quick game and fm takes weeks off my life every year and I love it still.

    I'll go through phases of overplaying then but always come crawling back.

    Without fail it's Final Fantasy VII. Still one of my favourite games many years on.

    Oblivion is one, though I'd go back to Skyrim more and more as mods improve.

    Lastly, and I'm not even slightly ashamed to admit it. I still play Pokemon games when I'm in the mood. Either on my phone with an emulator, a DS and sometimes an old old old GameBoy advance.

    I've got a 75% voucher for it on steam. Wasn't going to bother but is it worth picking up keeping in mind I've never really played duke nukem games?

    Well it is almost 20 years old so keep that in mind.

    Have you played the likes of Doom and Wolf 3D?

    If you enjoyed them them you should like it.

    For me it is my favourite FPS game of all time, it redefined the genre, and it felt so unlimited at the time.

    Diablo franchise. I always come back to it. Mostly D2 Lod and Diablo 3 ( in whatever state it is )

    Terarria - always come back to that one. What can I say, sense of discovery and digging is addictive.

    Robotron, Tempest 2000, Rage Racer, Katamari Damacy, Super Mario Bros 3, Parodius (I have it for the Famicom, Snes, Gameboy, PC Engine and Playstation.) and Virtua Racing, I have that on Megadrive in all three regions, 32X, Saturn and PS2.
    Nearly forgot! Need for Speed and Starblade on my 3DO, love those two.
    And those are the games I keep coming back to.

    For me it was Football Manager from 2005-2010.

    I had to quit because it was too addictive. I once played as Napoli manager for 66 seasons!

    Honestly, it was like heroin.

    If I want a real blast to the past then I will fire up Command & Conquer. It is one of those games that I still replay every few years.

    I had the best scouting system in the world so every year I would have the new Messi in my youth team.

    I just got sucked into it.

    No matter how many times I finish it or how often I get sick of it I always end up firing up FTL again for a quick blast that turns into a 4 hour run, must have finished it about 20 times and then he goes and releases the Advanced Edition.

    XCom and Terror from the Deep on the PC and PS, you're only man.
    Gollop is a genius.
    Try Ghost recon on the 3ds next
